It feels increasingly difficult to follow a football club all over the place in this modern era and be fully and absolutely all in. Everything is transitory, but under Cooper, it felt special there for a while. Really really special. And such things matter (to me anyway.)

With Hull tickets £33, that's a nice round £380 purely on away tickets following Forest so far this season. That's 61% of them at least £30, making that price the norm, not the exception. On average, £29,23. Something needs to change.
